The long chain free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120) has recently been recognized as lipid sensor playing important roles in nutrient sensing and inflammation and thus holds potential as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To explore the effects of stimulating this receptor in animal models of metabolic disease, we initiated work to identify agonists with appropriate
长链游离脂肪酸受体4(FFA4 / GPR120)最近被认为是脂质传感器,在营养物传感和炎症中起着重要作用,因此具有作为2型糖尿病和代谢综合征的治疗靶标的潜力。为了探索在代谢性疾病动物模型中刺激该受体的作用,我们启动了鉴定具有适当药代动力学特性的激动剂的工作,以支持进入体内研究的进程。对一系列苯丙酸的广泛SAR研究导致鉴定出化合物29,一种在两种2型糖尿病临床前模型中降低血浆葡萄糖的FFA4激动剂。
